about him.
Brooke Stillwell, graphic artist for
the event, said she was excited to see
Updike in person.
"My mom used to read ["A Child's
Calendar"] when I was a kid, and I ran
off with the only copy," Stillwell said.
"I found another one for my sister.
I have a lot of special memories of my
mom reading it to me. I'm hoping to get
an autograph for me and my sister."

Updike also discussed the "Judus
. Biography," an intimate look at someone
through the eyes of an ex-wife,
ex-husband, housekeeper or assistant.
Updike said these views tend to be
jaded and one-sided, but they can still
be quite important.
"As buyers of reviews and books, we
are collaborators on [those writers'] creations,"
Updike said.
Near the end of his lecture, Updike
gave the audience some insight about
writers in general.
"A fiction Writer's book is his treasure,
and they build their ignorance into
the design," he said.

Now that Republican Gov. David
Reaslev whn acrtrressivelv recruited
new businesses to the Palmetto State,
is on his way out, industrial recruiters
are worried about how the new administration
will affect economic development
in South Carolina.
"It's a real big question mark," said
Les Pritchard, a past president of the
South Carolina Economic Developers
Association.
"Really, economic development was
never part of the [recent gubernatorial]
campaign. It got overshadowed by
so many other things."
For more than a decade, recruiters
have known where the state's leaders
stood on economic development. Former
Gov. Carroll Campbell and Beasley
? both Republicans ? used the state
Commerce Department to recruit and
give tax incentives to businesses moving
to the state.

more to help small businesses.
Some small firms around the state
might look twice at large incentive
packages awarded to foreign-based
companies, Geddings said.
'Tou have to be prepared to award
those types of incentives to land BMWtype
industries," Geddings said. "But
that doesn't change what we want to
do with small companies. Maybe we
need to find ways to grow that particular
budget because we think it has
a good return."
College of Charleston economics
professor Frank Heftier says he doubts
economic developers have much to worry
about in terms of policy changes.
"There may be a sense that Republicans
have gone overboard in courting
industry, so maybe they think Democrats
may not. But I don't know if
that's a valid perception," he said.
In recent years, the Commerce Department
has been centered on strong
marketing efforts designed to nurture
economic development.

He said churches fall in three categories:
the conservatives, or those thai

community; the moderately active, the
churches that do a little bit in the com

matters; and the active churches thai
deal often with the communities.
"There can be many factors whicl
have to do with what category a churcl
falls into," Billingsley said.
"These can include the size, location
and the funding the church has."
He cited two cases of how churches
benefited their surrounding communi
ties. One church helped several boys
who had gotten in a fight from having
their fives ruined by being in jail.

Turner
considers
bid for
presidency
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK?Media mogul Ted Turner
says he is "very serious" about making
a bid for the White House, even
though he contends his wife, former actress
Jane Fonda, doesn't approve, according
to a magazine report.
In its Nov. 23 issue, out Monday,
The New Yorker says Turner let slip
the idea after a recent black-tie
southern California dinner where he
received the World Citizenship
Award from a group dedicated to eliminating
nuclear weapons.
"I am very serious about running
for president, but Jane doesn't want me
to do it," the flamboyant founder of CNN
reportedly told several members of the
Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
According to the magazine, Fonda
left the door open to a Turner campaign,
saying, "wherever Ted goes, I go."
The article called Turner's prize acceptance
speech a "clearly ad-libbed
... synthesis of Southern populism,
standup-comedy shtick and talk-radio
outrage," in which he claimed the United
States was keeping nuclear weapons
as protection from "the starving
masses of the Third World when thev
come to our door."
Turner said they would be coming
across the border from Mexico and from
Saudi Arabia "when they run out of oil,"
according to the article.

come in and show their products. That's
how me and my roommate got our cell
phones."
Sophomore Nick Wilson thinks product-oriented
events are acceptable in
moderation. "Once in a while is OK,"
L he says, "but not every day."
Not all students share these ap[
proving viewpoints.
: "If it doesn't benefit the welfare of
our beloved university, then commercializing
products using university property
shouldn't be allowed," sophomore
rnn J\.ent saia. ~i stana against it.
Brewer recognizes the differing opinions,
stating that, although USC has
t no plans to stop vendors from continuing
on the Russell House patio and
other university areas, the subject is
still open for debate. "I am willing to
, discuss this issue with anyone," Brewer
said.

After Billingsley spoke, the audience
was free to ask questions. The ques!
tions ranged from the effects of black
church burnings to the obstacles facing
social workers today.
, McClerkin-Motley closed the quesI
tion-answer session, saying, "We are
making progress, but we have a lot more
to do."
t Graduate student Pamela von Kleist

"For social change to occur, all peo1
